Created by anti-poverty group ONE, the commercial features the stars being censored as they repeat the phrase 'f*** famine'.

Irish singer Bono then appears on screen to say, "Famine is the real obscenity."

ONE hopes the commercial can focus the world's attention on the famine and food crisis in the Horn of Africa. More than 13 million people are facing severe hunger across East Africa with Somalia at the epicenter of the crisis, where 750,000 people facing imminent starvation.
